I call myself a FFP: former fat person, and when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for.

Sometimes it's other people's voices you have to shut out.

Dress how you feel and love what you wear because at the end of the day you have got to wear and feel great in it.

Even now I don't consider myself skinny, but I have put a lot of hard work into my body over the years, and in the process, I've really learned to love myself.

I've completely changed the way I eat since doing 'Dancing With The Stars.

I can't lie, I did a lot of really, really stupid things, and it was because it was my way of crying for help.

I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word 'YOU' and I just put the letter 'U'.
